Elaphoglossum hirtum
Genus Elaphoglossum is found throughout the tropics
however the species native to Hawaii are endemic; they
are singular to this place. Specimens are
located in moist to very wet areas, mostly in the shade.
This photo was taken in a lava tube where the fern saw
light for perhaps only one hour a day.
